  1. >In an email to CNN, Skyhorse Publishing sent a document labeled, “Confidentiality and Nondisclosure Agreement” that laid out strict terms for an interview and use of material from the book, titled “Melania,” due to publish on October 8. On top of that, the agreement stipulated that “CNN shall pay a licensing fee of two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000).”

    >CNN did not sign the agreement.

    >Days later, after a separate CNN journalist asked Skyhorse Publishing about the exorbitant interview fee, the publisher said it had sent the payment demand by mistake.

  2. That’s probably quite the deal compared to what Trump has to pay her to be seen in public with him.

    Melania seems like someone who is trying to generate her own wealth so she can divorce Trump over his affairs.

    Melania is the worst first lady in the history of America.

    A grifter will always be a grifter.

    Grifters gotta grift. Sounds like she’s trying to set her self up for when the hamberderler croaks. 

  6. CNN: “hey publisher! yes you! How much are gonna pay us to not reveal this letter asking for $250K?”

    Instead of interviewing her they could just play the sound of wind blowing through an empty tunnel over a black screen. It’d be free and just as informative.

  8. 250k wouldn’t just wipe out my student debt, it would allow me to put a down payment on my own home. I wish I was interesting enough to ask 250k for an interview lol.

  9. I mean her husband’s networth is fake and the grift is going to end when he goes to jail, she needs to start earning on her own.

  10. Payment by mistake? Hilarious; they got caught. She also charges to speak at conventions. She’s also very fake and is a piece of shit human being who a lot of us don’t care about.

  11. Ugh! She’s just as scummy as Trump. It’s only a matter of time before ends up down the stairs anyway.

  12. Correct me if I’m wrong but I thought authors do these interviews for free and in exchange the news outlet gives them free advertising for their book?

  13. Can’t wait to read Melania’s biography on how she grew up as a poor black woman in America.

  14. Keep this mind for when she DOES show up in an interview somewhere… whatever platform she is appearing on is paying her.

    I literally laughed out loud when I read the part about the publisher saying they sent the licensing fee request of $250k by mistake. Hahaha no you fucking didn’t. YOU GOT CAUGHT!!

    Just go away Melania. You literally didn’t do anything useful as first lady except intentionally piss people off with your stupid jacket and design the creepiest Christmas decor the White House has ever had. Oh and ruined some of the landscaping that a wonderful first lady before you planned. Ugh… Giant piece of shit human just like your husband.

    Who does she think CNN is, Donald? Only Donald would pay her $250k to do an interview because he has to.

    No need to click on the article.

  18. If networks refusing to pay her interview fee means we don’t have to hear her BS then so be it lol
